EnumTranslatable

Translating enums has never been easier!

A simple Gem that translates ruby on rails enums in a similar manner to I18n globalize gem. Gem: https://rubygems.org/gems/enum_translatable

Make sure you add globalize gem https://github.com/globalize/globalize

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'enum_translatable', '~> 0.1.3'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install enum_translatable

The Gem will add some methods into your selected model similar to what globalize gem adds to a translated field. for example if we have the following class

class Order  < ApplicationRecord
    enum status:{
        pending: 0,
        canceled: 1,
        approved: 2,
    }
end

by adding the following

class Order  < ApplicationRecord
    enum status:{
        pending: 0,
        canceled: 1,
        approved: 2,
    }
    include EnumTranslatable ##this has to be added after the last enum defined in your model which needs to be translated
    #Note: Adding this line will translate ALL the enums defined above it.
end

Then adding the translations in your local.yml

#en.yml
en:
  activerecord:
    enum_translatable:
      order:
        status:
          canceled: "canceled"
          pending: "pending"
          approved: "approved"

#ar.yml
ar:
  activerecord:
    enum_translatable:
      order:
        status:
          canceled: "canceled in arabic"
          pending: "pending in arabic"
          approved: "approved in arabic"

#es.yml
es:
  activerecord:
    enum_translatable:
      order:
        status:
          canceled: "canceled in spanish"
          pending: "pending in spanish"
          approved: "approved in spanish"

it will add the following methods

#default locale is :en
order = Order.first
order.status # => "canceled"
order.status_en # => "canceled"
order.status_ar # => "canceled in arabic"
order.status_es # => "canceled in spanish"
I18n.locale = :ar
order.status = "canceled in arabic"
I18n.locale = :es
order.status = "canceled in spanish"

Make sure to add the locales you want to use, other wise you will have a method for each I18n locale which is unnecessary

# in config/initializer/locale.rb
I18n.available_locales = [:ar, :es, :en]

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
